Well I'm working a tiny bit less this month, although still painting a few hours a day at least.

Our youngest daughter goes off to college soon

and we have just two weeks left to enjoy her.

I hope she thinks " I miss my dearest mother; I now no longer find her half so bothersome as she was -but remember her so careful and so kind."

 But I know she won't give

me much of a thought as her life begins to bloom

and friendships grow. 

She will hear my voice though, throughout her time away

and maybe miss

my smile and hugs - I know it! But not as much as I'll miss hers :)
